In the arquebus barracks in front of the Imperial Palace, after the two monarchs and ministers pointed out the army formation in a song and laughter, Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, returned to the palace satisfied. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the control law could immediately write a letter to Zhang Guoan.

In the letter, he mentioned the battle of Jiaozhou City, hoping to get a complete picture of the battle, and also hoped to get the relevant weapons and armaments.

Although he had already sent the army, he still wanted to hear the opinion of Zhang Guoan.

They weren't used in this war, and he still had some regrets in his heart.

After Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, returned to Liuqiu Island, he soon received a private message from Fake, and the cross-strait ties were quite close.

He looked at the letter, smiled wryly and shook his head, he didn't have a little bit of the so-called engineering explosives in his hand now, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry to come back and process it.

As mentioned earlier, nitroglycerin/oil is itself an explosive and extremely unstable, exploding under strong shaking. Zhang Guoan reformulated three parts nitroglycerine/oil and one part diatomaceous earth, plus a little sodium carbonate, so that the explosives were stable and could be transported and stored.

Even when exposed to a small fire, the explosives will burn and will not explode.

So, it has to have a small explosion, which requires a detonator/tube.

The so-called engineering explosives were the only products he did not dare to let the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty make their own, and he demanded that no one was allowed to make them except himself at the scene, not even a quiet person.

So he had to come back and process it himself.

The situation on the Shandong Peninsula was completely under the control of the Liuqiu Guard, and he could finally rest assured that the half-sized children had matured rapidly in the war, and he didn't have to worry about it.

He just needs to supply the military supplies and that's it.

During the period of his absence, the development of Liuqiu Island did not stop, but got better and better.

The war boosted the economy----- because they had a different understanding of war than the Great Song Dynasty, and they could feed the war with war.

The war paid them handsomely.

The first is a relatively abundant labor force.

Because Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, always adhered to the employment system and paid others more fair and just, and in line with his status, he soon built a free market on the island with both supply and demand.

Population, which brought him the dividends of development.

Almost all the businesses in the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula were brought here by him, and the people quickly found their place and quickly integrated into the life here.

Secondly, the armaments sold here have also been handsomely rewarded.

Whether it was the army of Champong or the army of Goryeo, he could not do without his weapons.

So one bought from the state level and the other from the rebel level, both of which made the island very profitable.

It's just that Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, did not plan to provide it to the Jiaozhi country, because the time has not yet come.

Of course, the sale of arms to the Great Song government was the most profitable, and it well compensated for the cost of purchasing large quantities of raw materials.

For example, peanuts.

As soon as it appeared in the folk of the Great Song Dynasty, within a few years, people's output soared, and Zhang Guoan's island owner had to obey, just planting, people were no worse than Liuqiu Island, and the patterns of eating soon spread at the same time, and they didn't use others as a demonstration at all.

The plane lacks cooking oil.

I think that back then, the Jin Dynasty also had to provide edible oil from the Great Song Dynasty.

So the appearance of peanuts quickly filled the gap and became a big hit.

Zhang Guoan's owner had to buy back some, always using whale oil, and no one could stand it.

Of course, the biggest effect of this battle was to raise the morale of the island and even make the merchants who had just arrived here very happy.

The Liuqiu Guards can definitely protect them, and if the Tatar army can be beaten like that by them, then no matter what pirates or bandits, it is not a problem.

As long as it provides enough security, then it is a paradise for those who do business.

There's gold in the northern part of the island of Liuqiu?!

When Zhu Qing heard the news, he was very interested.

Of course, there may be no one in this time and space who does not have a possessive heart for this thing, except for Zhang Guoan Island Lord and Quiet.

He wanted to send someone to grab it as soon as possible, and after waiting for his reaction, he pondered arranging for someone to go to the gold pan as well.

He finally remembered the power of the Liuqiu Guard, whether on land or at sea, although he had tens of thousands of men, he would definitely not be able to defeat the other party.

They are the army!

Zhang Guoan's main opening up of the northern region is to attract people, even if it is just to take risks.

Of course, he knew the latitude and longitude coordinates of the Jinguashi, and he had already sent people to pan for gold in advance, and to build the city there first.

The Jinguashi area is located in the northeast corner of Liuqiu Island, so it is quite affected by the northeast monsoon.

Due to its location in the area of the northeast monsoon, coupled with typhoons and heavy rains in summer, the rainy season is long and abundant, especially in the early spring period of winter, when the whole month is cloudy and rainy, and the rainy season is long and humid.

Therefore, if he wants to keep people, he can only do a good job in early construction.

At the very least, you can grow some potatoes, sweet potatoes and cassava to solve the basic food.

Speaking of cassava, a little mention.

The emergence of cassava has greatly stimulated the aquaculture industry in the Liuqiu area.

Because cassava is a root energy feed raw material, rich in carbohydrates and high in energy value, it is usually used in compound feed to replace grain and other high-priced energy feed.

The average dry matter digestibility of dried cassava is 75%, the digestibility of organic matter is higher than 85%, and the digestibility of starch is as high as 87%~89%, which is close to that of cereals, so it is easy to be digested by animals.

In addition, dried cassava chips or cassava pellets have little to no mold contamination, which is of great benefit to animal health.

And its leaves can not only feed poultry, but can even be used to raise silkworms, but the silk produced is thicker.

But fortunately, the leaves are not cheap------ mulberry leaves in this time and space are not cheap.

When it was ready for mass production, Quiet instructed the farmers to interplant watermelons in the cassava fields.

It didn't take long for a merchant from the Great Song Dynasty to learn.

Merchants on this plane also like to buy fields, and they follow suit.

Soon, this method also spread among the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Profit is the best driving force.

As mentioned earlier, the seeds they brought with Zhang Guoan are non-toxic and do not need to be poison-proof.

Now, the northern part of Liuqiu Island and the northwestern part of the Shandong Peninsula are filled with adventurous Song laborers, and the popularity of these two areas has risen immediately, which is exactly what Zhang Guo'an demanded.

The Shandong Peninsula is good to say, the northern part of Liuqiu Island is basically primitive, and of course there are many Great Song Dynasty laborers who died because they did not adapt to the local environment, but the temptation of gold far outweighs the threat of death.

Later, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, asked Yang Youxing to write several advertorials about the rich gold rush, which attracted more people.

He took the opportunity to build a settlement there, at least so that the family would have a place to live.

Slowly, another new town began to emerge. (To be continued.) )
